Psalm 37:4

This week's Card Patternssketch drew me in like a magnet because of the large circle. I combined it with this week'sRibbon Reel inspiration challenge and getting the red in there was definitely a challenge!

After a wide variety of attempts, I finally settled on adding this prima flower since it was a darker pink and toned down the the red button on the bow. I also added (aka:tried) a bit of distressing around the edges to tone down and soften the cream so the the red didn't stand out so much. Needless to say, my sponging has much to be desired, but it did the trick so mission accomplished.

I'm also entering this in to this week's Word Art Wednesday challenge to make a card with an inspirational or encouraging sentiment. This verse is such a great verse and encourages me often so I figured it qualified :)

I think this was my first plain jane :) Such a pretty card! Hope the weather held up for you today...it's sunny and warm with a gentle breeze so I'm on the deck with a glass of wine!! Before 5:00 too! I think I've earned it this week! LOL

Marisa, this is sooo Beautiful! Wow. Lovely colors, sentiment, and flower. I thought you made that flower and I was going to ask you to do a tutorial (beg you actually) - it is stunning and your card makes it look even better. Hugz!

Oh, is that some smudging and distressing I see? Without a throwdown involved? What a lovely effect, the pink, white and brown accents really add such delight to this card. The sentiment is perfect, too!
